“My son wrote poetry, did recitations and impersonations, artwork and sketches. He loved reading the Bible. I drew strength from his courage and resilience in the face of all of this. He cared about people. He wanted to make something of himself. My son could read at two years old and now he mumbles.”

Redlands, CA / Tuesday, Jan. 27 / — In a state which has become emblematic of progressive values and civil rights, Enne Currie sits tonight, praying for a just result at tomorrow’s mental health court hearing. A paralegal, Currie has filed numerous legal documents trying to force the system to abide by its own principles. Among these are a demand for information on the whereabouts of her son, Dirul Lewis, a Writ of Habeas Corpus, and various objections to the outrageous abuses being committed for profit or retaliation.

Lewis has been a mental patient for many years. Enne says that Dirul’s doctors experimented on him with drugs known to cause lethal interactions, including Zyprexa and Loxapine. A recent combination of drugs given in the hospital drove Dirul into a temporary coma. This combination was one that Enne, as Dirul’s conservator, had expressly objected to, but which the doctors administered anyway.

Despite over 17 years of attempts to get her son the best care possible, the mental health community continually failed Dirul. Currie even filed a lawsuit seeking to protect her son’s rights and health, but the case was dismissed because she was representing Dirul on her own.

About two weeks ago, Dirul Lewis was moved by his captors in the mental institution to an undisclosed location, and Currie’s conservatorship was cancelled. No hearing or reason was given. When Currie objected, she says she was ignored or dismissed with comments like “He’s been in this system for a long time.”

Enne recalls nursing Dirul as a child until he weaned himself, and says she believes that is how he managed to survive so many years of damaging treatments. Some time prior to his court-sanctioned disappearance, Enne noticed Dirul’s eyes go empty, like he no longer recognized her. Tonight, Enne doesn’t even know whether her son Dirul is dead or alive.

UNITE requests that anyone knowing the whereabouts or condition of Dirul Lewis immediately inform Enne Currie by writing to messages70007@yahoo.com or calling 909-384-2104.

“Have ya’ll heard about the Ga woman who forgot her foster infant inside a hot minivan. The baby died. She managed to get her two adopted kids in the house, but claims because she was taking rx for strep throat she forgot the baby. See the story below.

Bio mom made a deal with the state- traded baby for treatment of bipolar. The irony here, the bio mom lost custody because she was taking rx and could harm the child. The foster parent was taking rx and killed the child.

A blogger from Ga wrote, regarding the bio mom:

It is my understanding that Ms. Carter (Jessica Scovil’s Mother) sought public services for treatment of a mental health disorder-bipolar disorder (or manic depression) because she is 19, she is not covered under her parent’s health insurance and did not have the funds herself to see treatment, so she turned to our Dept of Health and Human Services to see if there were any programs that might help fund treatment for her (ie,medication, counseling/therapy, etc).

When it was learned that she was a new mom of a 4 (four) month old infant, the social worker decided that she was not capable of caring for her infant. As I understand it-a deal was brokered. The State of GA would fund her treatment as long as baby Jessica was temporarily signed over to foster care. In other words, Jessica’s parents made a deal with the devil, and it didn’t take ’em long to realize it.

They got legal representation and tried to bring their baby girl home. A hearing was set for September 16, 2008, where it was expected Jessica would be returned to her parents. Unfortunately, the foster mother ensured the Mother would never again have custody of her child by baking the baby in her vehicle.

Jessica was returned to her parents and family as a corpse.

The State of Georgia and Wendy Obsborne are solely responsible for this child’s death-and we’ve yet to hear another peep about prosecuting Ms. Osborne-who by all rights should be in JAIL for what she did.

If she were the natural mother of baby Jessica she would have been arrested on the spot for killing that innocent baby. But since she’s on the State of Georgia’s payroll as a foster “parent”, she’s going to get off scott free.

Foster mother said she had taken prescription medication, forgot baby was in vehicle

A 9-month-old girl died Tuesday after her foster mother said she forgot the infant inside a hot minivan for more than two hours, officials said.

Jackson County sheriff’s deputies are still investigating Wendy Osborne’s account. The 29-year-old Nicholson woman told Jackson County Sheriff deputies that she came home from a doctor’s appointment about 2:30 p.m., unloaded her two adopted girls but forgot about the baby in the car seat.

Osborne, a foster parent for five years, said she took a nap, waking around 5 p.m. Maj. David Cochran of the sheriff’s department said at that point she remembered the baby in the minivan.

State Child Advocate Tom Rawlings identified the girl as Jessica Marie Scovil. The infant, who had lived with Osborne for five months, was pronounced dead by emergency personnel called to the scene, Cochran said.

Osborne told deputies she had been sick for several days and was prescribed medication for strep throat, which may have contributed to her drowsiness. A toxicology report has been ordered, and charges could be filed.

Two other foster children who had been living with Osborne were removed from the home, Cochran said.

The state Division of Family and Children Services, which oversees the foster care system, is also investigating the death, said spokeswoman Dena Smith. She said there had been no indications of problems with Osborne as foster mother.

Rawlings said if Osborne’s version is correct, he would tend to oppose criminal charges.

“I usually look at these kinds of situations as there but for the grace of God go I,” he said.”
